Overview

The Tour de France is not just a cycling race; it is THE premier sporting event on the global calendar. The Ride Every Kilometre tour is the ultimate way to experience it, designed for serious riders committed to conquering either 1, 2 weeks or the complete 3 weeks of the official route of the 2026 Tour de France the day before the professional peloton. Your monumental journey begins with the Grand Départ in the amazing Catalan city of Barcelona, featuring a spectacular Team Time Trial (TTT). The route then traverses the nation: the rest of Week 1 and the start of Week 2 feature dynamic flat and hilly stages, culminating in the giant Le Markstein. The Decisive Final Week: Week 3 opens with a crucial Individual Time Trial (ITT) on the shores of Lake Geneva before heading south into the French Alps for the decisive mountain stages. Completing your week in Paris after a TGV transfer from Grenoble to ride Stage 21 and then watch the peloton arrive in Paris the following day. This commitment is matched by unparalleled rewards. You will ride every single kilometre of the official course the day before the professional peloton - this provides access to routes that may otherwise be closed, you still experience the exuberant support of TDF fans on the epic climbs, and experience the inner workings of the Tour de France, all while being supported by the expert GTP Team of former pro riders and dedicated crew.
